N12.8 Million Fraud: EFCC Deploys Technology In Court.

The South East Zonal office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Enugu on Wednesday, March 27, 2019 opened a new vista in its prosecutorial annals when it deployed technology in the prosecution of its case by calling a prosecution witness living in the United States of America, Obu Nnamdi Patrick via Skype in a case of Conspiracy, Obtaining Under False Pretences and Impersonation to the tune of N12,800,200 (Twelve Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Two Hundred Naira) against Amobi Alukwu and his wife, Helen Alukwu which was brought before Justice N.I. Buba of the Federal High Court Enugu.



Alukwu, who was a brother in-law of the complainant was accused of obtaining the said sums by first claiming that his brother in-law, Obu Nnamdi Patrick was dead and that his wife, Helen who is the sister to the complainant, was the complainant’s daughter all in a bid to claim compensation on two plots of land at Ifo Layout, Abakpa Nike Enugu from Niger Delta Power Holding Company Ltd/NIPP, whose high tension wire passed through the lands.

Investigation also revealed that when actual payment was to be made and in order to lay credence to being the bonafide beneficiary, Alukwu knowing that the properties was captured in the name of its true owner, Obu Nnamdi Patrick, further presented a sworn affidavit of change of name in his own name as being the same person as the complainant and even made his staff to confirm the change of name.

In his evidence via Skype, the complainant stated he was the rightful owner of the land and as could be seen, he is alive not deceased as was purportedly reported by the complainant. He equally said that he never gave the defendant the power of attorney and deed of assignment of the land stating that Alukwu was his in-law being a brother to his (Patrick’s) wife.

Later in his testimony, the Investigating officer, Collins Iheonunekwu gave a cursory insight into the findings of the Commission stating that the defendant lied in court to get a sworn affidavit claiming the same name as the complainant to get compensation from George Nzei and Co, the company contracted by NDPHC/NIPP to evaluate and pay compensation to beneficiaries.

The case has been adjourned to April 15, 2019 for continuation of trial.

You guys are just so ignorant you show it to the world Everytime.

This is a feat. The admissibility of electronic material as a primary evidence is still something that is contentious in Nigeria. To bring a primary witness using Skype is enough feat to show that the legal system is actually coming to terms with reality.


Not everything you react to.

Is it a new innovation that video calling is been used all over the world?

Companies, organisations, even individuals have been and are still using it till today. Skype is even getting outdated. And then it is used in a legal case in Nigeria, and that should be news?

You can keep deluding yourself with this form of progress. The internet is available for everyone. A good number of Nigerians can see where other parts of the world are heading to.

This is mediocrity. And I wish you and your household a happy celebration as you pop bottles for this.

Sigh

You still don't get it I see.

Even in the USA . Laws are naturally slower than the rate at which society develops. Till today in the USA there are still new laws just covering technology that has been existent in the last 20 years and most times by the time they are passed such things have significantly changed. Just take a look at copyright laws and things like Deezer and Spotify that we currently have now.

Now imagine here in Nigeria where we even have it worse. The last time the Evidence Act was amended was in 2011. Just take a look at what technological feats have been achieved in the last 8 years. To allow someone be a witness via a Skype call might not be a big deal in the normal parlance. But in the legal sense of it . It is a big deal.

So please learn and move on. Not everything you dig in and argue blindly on. Being educated means you are able to say I made a mistake when presented with superior facts. You shouldn't join the herd mentalitiy we have here on Nairaland.

Whats your superior fact? That a whole lot of nairalanders weren't impressed by this "very big technology" in the Nigerian legal system?

Hahahahahahah

Like I said earlier, this is bull crap, mediocrity, and the EFCC should not make a single noise about this. You know why? It's shameful.

And make sure you post pictures of you celebrating Skype as a means to witness in a Nigerian court.
